Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez's Handlers Feel He's Ready For Big Fights

[SCtrojansbaby]

And 99% of those 35 were bums.

Baldomir was shot to bits at the time Canelo beat him, kudos to Saul for being the only fighter to KO him though.

He was rocked by Jose Cotto, who spent most of his career at 135, and isn't exactly a monstrous puncher.

When he REALLY steps the comp up, anyone with a decent chin, good movement and decent handspeed will give him fits IMO, and Matthew Hatton aint that, he's ****.

It might sound like i'm hating on the bloke, but i'm not. I just don't get the hype about him being this future P4P superstar.

He can be a good World Champion and have a good career, but he'll fall short against the elite IMO.

Good luck to the kid, seriously. I think he'll beat Matt Hatton pretty handily, then we'll see what type of competition he fights when he's champ, which i don't think will be for too long.

You do realize those bums he is facing at 20 are 100000x better then anyone Pacquiao or Mayweather or Wlad were fighting when they were 16-20 years old right? As I said its really not that hard to understand.

Well it's about time to step up the comp,make it happen.

well Mayweather didn't turn pro until he was 19, a couple months from 20 so I would hope he is fighting better competition lol lets see at 21 he beat Tony Pep, Angel Manfredy and Genaro Hernandez, at 22 he beat Carlos Gerena and Justin Juuko and was 22-0 at the time, right there is a better competition of fighters, so dude is correct 35-0 nothing but bums, So nice try

LOL Floyd was fighting guys with 1-19 records when he was 20. So yeah like I said Canelo's level of competition at 20 years old is 10000000% better then Floyd or Pacquiao or who ever

Man, Canelo is not ready for big names!!! I dont understand why people dont see this. The dude is ordinary and has not fought anybody of high caliber. Tell me of one person of high quality he has fought. I am not taking anything away from the kid but in this sport you have to earn your spot.

Actually Pacquiao won his first major world title at 19.

Even the Cotto of today eats this kid up pretty easily

Granted he's only 20, but i just don't get the hype with Canelo

Nevermind he fights and looks exactly like a young Cotto in the ring!

[pistol whip]

Actually Pacquiao won his first major world title at 19.

And pac is the exception to the rule most fighters at 20 haven't had anything near a major fight.

[Noy]

golden boy is going to F up this kid's career by giving him no name fights, and over protecting him.

So every other major champion didn't fight a lomg list of cans before geting a title shot? I swear you people forget this is how just about every prospect gets handled on their way to the top.
